Portobello

Edinburgh beach district

Portobello is a large, mature cremini mushroom with a broad, flat cap and meaty texture.

The cap can span several inches, making portobellos substantial enough to grill whole or use as a vegetarian burger substitute: grilled portobello caps with balsamic glaze.

Also spelled portabella or portabello.
